yesterday was a good day my son is almost up. he can get the board on top of the water just needs to get the standing up thing down. and i was able to get my dad up he did pretty good but falls trying to cross the wake. then he finally figgured out how to pull me at a steady speed and get the wake shaped good with the trim. i was able to get air under the board and land. it was the first time riding behind the tower and was much easier. i hope this summer i can ride more and progress and cant wait till my little guy gets up. some pics of the old man. hes up....................then down
